In Thailand, a bus carrying 44 school students and teachers suddenly caught fire. It is feared that at least 25 people may have died. A very shocking incident happened in Thailand. About 44 students and teachers have gone on one school bus. There was a sudden fire accident on that bus today. At least 25 people are said to have died in the fire. In other words, while the number of people killed in the fire has not yet been officially announced, the status of 25 people is not known, according to Transport minister Suriya Jangrunkit.

A school bus traveling from Thailand's Udai Thani province to a suburb of northern bangkok has reportedly suffered a tire burst. It seems that the bus hit a barrier on the road due to a burst tyre. According to reports, this was said by someone from the rescue mission. The crashed bus is powered by compressed gas. According to reports, a person involved in the rescue operation said that the fuel tank exploded after hitting the barricade and the fire started.
Also, the rescue operation was also delayed due to the large fire. Rescuers tried hard to put out the fire. There are reports that they are fighting for a long time to put out the fire and rescue the people inside. Hence, the official death toll may be delayed. It is feared that the death toll is likely to increase as the condition of 25 people is still unknown and many are seriously injured. Videos taken at the scene of the accident are going viral on social media. In the videos, the school bus can be seen engulfed in flames. Thick black smoke can be seen rising in the sky. Regarding the accident, prime minister Padongdern posted on his X page, "I learned that a bus carrying students from Udai Thani province caught fire resulting in loss of life and injuries. As a mother, I offer my deepest condolences to the families of the injured and the deceased."
